Dear Friend, 

How many of you have played sports? How many of you have gone into a locker room afterwards to shower and change clothes?

This should not be a sex trafficking sentence.

But for ten female college students we are representing in a lawsuit against Pornhub and xHamster

,

it was.

These ten women were secretly filmed changing and showering after a field hockey game, and the videos were uploaded to Pornhub and xHamster. Pornhub and xHamster not only accepted nonconsensual videos like this, they

actively encouraged them.

Yet infuriatingly, the judge considering the ten survivors’ case has ruled that

Pornhub and xHamster are immune from liability

(thanks to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act which immunizes tech companies from being held accountable).

The judge even ruled that the pornography sites promoting tags like

“hidden camera,” “voyeur,”

and

“spycam;”

encouraging people to use these tags in the “Pornhub Playbook;” and having a separate webpage specifically dedicated to voyeur videos

did not amount to encouraging the uploading of voyeur videos.

On behalf of these ten survivors and all survivors who have been robbed of justice, I implore your help.

We are

urgently appealing

the judge’s abhorrent decision and we are

fighting tooth and nail

to repeal or reform Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. But we are under resourced and up against the trillion-dollar porn industry and tech industry.

Please consider making a donation to fight for justice for survivors, and an end to all sexual exploitation!

Thanks to a generous matching grant, any donation you make today will automatically be DOUBLED.

This is frustrating news, but the situation is

not

hopeless. Just a few months ago, our appeal in another lawsuit that was initially thrown out because of Section 230 succeeded—the ruling was overturned, and the case is now allowed to proceed. We have seen incredible momentum on the Policy side as well, with congressmen increasingly voicing their support for repealing this law and allowing tech companies to be sued.

We

can

win this fight, but only if you choose to

stand with us and with survivors.

Thank you for your generosity and your commitment to building a better world!

Gratefully,
